Cookbook recipe! This is one of the recipes included in my next cookbook, The Healthy Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook. This is the first of a few recipes from my latest cookbook that I will share here on the blog. I picked this one in particular for a few reasons: it’s the trifecta being low-carb, paleo, and whole30, it’s also one of the easier recipes since it only includes a few ingredients, and because it’s flat-out good.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Saltimbocca is Italian for “jumps in mouth” and refers to dishes in which various meats are wrapped in ham. I simplified it here and I think it’s pretty darn good. Have a few toothpicks ready to secure the prosciutto around the chicken but don’t forget to discard them before you eat.

I used Applegate prosciutto which is whole30 compliant. If you don’t care about being complaint, use your preferred brand.

You can substitute bacon for the prosciutto if you like. Wrap 1 slice of uncooked bacon around each chicken breast and secure it like you would the prosciutto. Cook time will remain the same. Notice there’s no salt? I find that between the prosciutto and capers, salt isn’t needed. But that’s just me. If you want to add salt to this, go ahead it won’t hurt. Yes, you can substitute chicken thighs. Heck you can even switch things up and use pork chops instead of chicken.

before

I used a large 6-quart slow cooker for this recipe but as you can see, there was plenty of extra space. A 3.5-quart slow cooker would probably been better suited. If you’re going to double this, use a 5 or 6-quart.
